Greywulffcvg Out of curiosity, I paid $9.65 on Amazon Haul for what claimed to be a 2TB "Portable SSD External Hard Drive. The outside of the box it came in was labeled 2TB but inside the box it only claimed 64GB. Connecting it to a PC, the PC said it had 64GB. I wrote and read some data, but I'm not planning to use it for anything except some experiments. I have also seen ads for drives claiming as much as 16TB for less than $10. Reply

All of those are fake, and do NOT have the stated capacity. I wouldn't trust it to hold a single 2k txt file. Waste of your time and money. Reply
